Why such price differences in these? Wouldn’t this 145$ option work as well as the 550 dollar option with the fox equipment. Just curious on thoughts.

Because the Fox shock is a much better shock from materials, craftsmanship, function, and longevity. With that said, the Rough Country will work but you are trying to prevent issues and "upgrade" from the Ford OEM components and IMHO, Rough County is not viewed as much of an upgrade.

I would like to know the exact part you used and where you found it, I know I'm in the minority but I have had bad experiences with Fox and will not ever use them again.

I also have installed the King at 27,000 miles on my 17 F250.

I was thinking about PMF as it seems heavy duty. There's a detailed Youtube install video and it looks pretty straight forward. Also it looks like the Rough Country bolts to the front differential so that's good as well. I wish Rancho made a dual stabilizer kit for stock height trucks but I can't find one. I'm also going to e-mail PMF to see if I can use the Rancho stabilizers in their brackets only because I'm running Rancho 5000X shocks and would like everything down there to coordinate.

Upon further review, it looks as if the Rancho and Rough Country stabilizers are for lifted trucks only. The only stock height dual stabilizer kits I can find are ProComp, Kelderman and PMF. Anybody know of any other manufacturers of stock height dual stabilizers?
